Lyrics

0:09Ready for the war we got our boots strapped
0:11100 deep on state street where the troops at
0:14The mayor lying saying he didn't see the video footage
0:17And everybody want to know where the truth at
0:19On the south side where it's no trauma centers but the most trauma
0:22A lot of cannons but you don't want no drama
0:25I can't imagine if it was my own mama
0:27Got her first born son stole from her he never had a chance
0:30And we all know its cause he black
0:32Shot 'em 16 times how f**ked up is that
0:34Now the police superintendent wanna double back
0:37Cops speeding up to the block like a runnin' back
0:39Tension is high man these niggas is irate
0:42You can see it in they eyes they wanna violate
0:44Screaming out oink oink bang bang gang gang gang gang murder murder
0:48Murder they mind state
0:49I just made me a mil' and still militant
0:52This ain't conscious rap this sh*t ignorant ni**a hair trigger
0:55Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun
0:58When I cock back police better run
1:001 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 f**k 12
1:051 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 f**k 12

1:12And we buckin' back
1:1316 shots
1:1516 shots
1:17And we buckin' back
1:1816 shots
1:20They threw a little girl down on the pavement
1:23Pushed her with the bike and said stay out the way b**ch
1:26She was bleedin' on the ground through her braces
1:28This is what happens when niggas don't stay in their places
1:30The mayor duckin' when he fired the superintendent
1:33But resignation come with bonuses and recognition
1:36So we gon' break in the stores on magnificent mile
1:38And if we gotta go let's go to prison in style
1:41Cops killin' kids and stayin' out of jail
1:43But bobby shmurda can't even catch bail
1:46So it's 1 2 3 4 5 6
1:48Now I got everybody yellin' out f**k 12

2:29We might make a pork rind out of pig bro
2:32Somebody tell these mothaf**kas keep they hands off me
2:34I ain't a mothaf**kin' slave keep your chains off me
2:37You better hope this 9 millimeter jam on me
2:39Or get blown I hope you got your body cam turnt on
2:42F**k a black cop too that's the same fight
2:45You got a badge b**ch but you still ain't white

3:24Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
3:28Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
3:33Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
3:38Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer

3:49Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
3:54Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
3:59Mu-u-u-u-murderer murderer
4:03The video shows laquan walking southbound down the middle of pulaksi
4:08There are squad cars visible in front of him and also squad cars behind him
4:13The shooter's squad car is visible as it drives past laquan
4:18Two officers then exit that vehicle with their guns drawn
4:22At that point laquan begins to look away from the officers
4:27At a southwest angle toward the sidewalk
4:30When laquan is about 12 to 15 feet away from the officers
4:36The width of an entire lane of the southbound traffic
4:39One officer begins shooting
4:41Laquan immediately spins to the ground
4:44And the video clearly shows that the officer continues to shoot laquan
4:48Multiple times
4:50As he lays in the street 16 seconds pass
4:54From the time laquan hits the ground
4:57Until the last visible puff of smoke rises from his torso area
5:02An officer then approaches laquan
5:05Stands over him and appears to shout something
5:08As he kicks the knife out of his hand
Ready for the war we got our boots strapped
100 deep on state street where the troops at
The mayor lying saying he didn't see the video footage
And everybody want to know where the truth at
On the south side where it's no trauma centers but the most trauma
A lot of cannons but you don't want no drama
I can't imagine if it was my own mama
Got her first born son stole from her he never had a chance
And we all know its cause he black
Shot 'em 16 times how f**ked up is that
Now the police superintendent wanna double back
Cops speeding up to the block like a runnin' back
Tension is high man these niggas is irate
You can see it in they eyes they wanna violate
Screaming out oink oink bang bang gang gang gang gang murder murder
Murder they mind state
I just made me a mil' and still militant
This ain't conscious rap this sh*t ignorant ni**a hair trigger
Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun
When I cock back police better run
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 f**k 12
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 f**k 12
16 shots
And we buckin' back
16 shots
16 shots
And we buckin' back
